Veg Inspiration, Monday

Looking deeply, we see that the perpetrators are themselves victims of
violence—that’s why they’ve become perpetrators—and their violence
hurts not only the animals but themselves and the bystanders as well.
All three are locked in a painful embrace, and it is the bystanders who
have the real power. They can either turn and look away, thus giving
their tacit approval, or they can witness and bring a third dimension
of consciousness and awareness to the cycle of violence that has the
victims and perpetrators hopelessly enmeshed.
